There is a saying that life should not be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times life takes your breath away - and two of the most memorable experiences happened whilst staying at the Selous Safari Camp.

The attention to detail was superb. Cold towels and chilled sherry on arrival back from safaris, coffee and biscuits in bed every morning. Surprise breakfast on the river bank... More

Having spent a get-away weekend at the Selous Safari Camp with the family has given us all a new lease on life. What a fantastic lodge with intimate details at every step of the experiance. We loved the bush experiance combined with all the pleasures of home. Activities included a Sundowner Boat safari, Exlilirating Game Drives and a breath takingly... More

From our arrival to our departure at the camp, we were made to feel very welcome and had an amazing stay. It is really hard to pinpoint things that were particularly good as it was all wonderful, but the following were just some of the things that made our 4-night stay so memorable: - Jenny, Emiel, Gerald and the other...

We spent 3 nigths/2 days at the Selous Safari Camp and can fully confirm what the other visitors have written. It is just amazing. Perhaps the following as additional information. The camp has two sites about 10 minutes from each other. We stayed at the camp headed by Gerald. Suppose that the other camp has the same features. More

I have just returned from a 3 day/3 night trip to Selous Safari Company. I was visiting there with my parents and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the location and the animals. There is a lot of time and attention spent to the details and making your time enjoyable and relaxed, from the morning wake up call with coffee... More

Just returned from a most memorable holiday. Selous Safari Camp is just the most wonderful experience. From your first welcome to the camp, where Jenny and her team set out to give you the best experience possible, to the turn out of all the staff to wave you goodbye, everything is done to make you comfortable. The guides are amazing... More
